To remain a virgin is a violation of God’s expressed desire that married couples have sex.>>

1 Corinthians 7:1

Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

1 Corinthians 7:1 Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Surely you jest by quoting just the opening verse of a paragraph of thought?

Here is the entire paragraph...

I Corinthians 7:1-7 Now concerning the things about which you wrote, it is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 But because of immoralities, each man is to have his own wife, and each woman is to have her own husband. 3The husband must fulfill his duty to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 But this I say by way of concession, not of command. 7 Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

Married couples are instructed in God's inspired Word, via the Apostle Paul, to have sex. It is a command that "the husband must fulfill his duty to his wife." Likewise, the wife must do the same.

The only exception is for "a time" in order to devote yourselves to prayer and then to come together again in order to not be subject to Satan's temptation.

Why stop at the ‘but’???

2 But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.

3 Let the husband render the debt to his wife, and the wife also in like manner to the husband.

4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband.


Joseph CLEARLY was going to GET RID OF Mary when he found out she was pregnant (another man ‘touched’ her), so he MUST have had normal MALE desires.

To think he would NOT have ‘wanted’ her after the time of waiting was over is beyond MY comprehension.


Leviticus 12:4-6

4 Then she shall remain in the blood of her purification for thirty-three days; she shall not touch any consecrated thing, nor enter the sanctuary until the days of her purification are completed.

5 But if she bears a female child, then she shall be unclean for two weeks, as in her menstruation; and she shall remain in the blood of her purification for sixty-six days.

6 When the days of her purification are completed, for a son or for a daughter, she shall bring to the priest at the doorway of the tent of meeting a one year old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.
